Description

Birmingham is famously reputed to have more miles of canals than Venice.

These canals contributed much to the city's growth, bringing coal and merchandise from the surrounding areas.

As the city prospered economically, it continued to grow and absorb neighbouring communities, a process in many ways bound together by the waterways.

Although part of the national network, Birmingham's canals, including the Worcester & Birmingham, the Stratford-upon-Avon and the Birmingham Canal Navigation, retain their original identity - and most are still in water and used regularly, albeit in different ways to their original industrial purpose.

Fully updated and illustrated with stunning new photographs, this book captures the heritage, development and modern role of Birmingham's canals in a way that will appeal to canal users as well as those with a wider interest in Britain's second most populous city.
